Please be gentle... A Parish Council website
My friends in the village wanted a website that several non-experts could maintain, and didn’t want to stump up for any expensive software… I suggested a piece of kit called Textpattern
Anyway, here goes, my very first posting in Lets see yours then :

Re: Please be gentle... A Parish Council website
Very nice. Well laid out, simple and easy to find stuff. Love the curly divider between articles.
The only slight oddities:
- clicking ‘contact’ in the footer I got a heading saying Contact List, and immediately below that a ‘Read more…’ which I had to click to get the contact-list article to show up. Is that intentional or can it be changed somehow to skip the ‘read more’ step?
- Under job vacancies there’s a “Within this section” at the top with nothing after it. Is there a way to suppress this if there are no sections? (chh_if_data, maybe?)
But I like the layout. Calming and informative in equal measure. Good stuff.
The smd plugin menagerie — for when you need one more gribble of power from Textpattern. Bleeding-edge code available on GitHub.

Thank you Stef/Bloke
- I guess the easiest way is for me to use a different page template for single-page, static articles, which display the full article rather than the excerpt (Or I could frighten myself and try my hand at some conditional logic again). Leave it with me…
- I’ve used chh_if_data for the search results, but will try to fit into the category-list sub sections! Thanks
The curly thing was just a dingbat stretched in Fireworks :-)
Danke
